Iron (Fe) is an element.
It is a compound because it is composed of the elements iron and sulfur.
A compound is 2 or more elements permanently combined. Rust is a combination of iron and oxygen, both elements- into iron oxide, a compound.
Iron is NOT made up of two elements. Iron is an element in its own right. It is found in the Periodic Table of Elements as 'Fe'. 'Fe' is the initials of the Latin name for iron, which is Ferrum. However, iron is mined as iron ore, which is an oxide of iron. It is a chemical combination of iron and oxygen. These are possibly the two elements you are thinking about. As oxides of iron can be found in different forms ( oxidation states). They Are. :- Fe3O4 ; Magnetite. (Lodestone of early navigation). Fe2O3 ; Iron (III) Oxide [ Ferric oxide) the common iron ore. FeO ; Iron (II) Oxide (Ferrous oxide) FeS ; Iron (II) Sulphide (Much less common. Iron metal is NOT found uncombined.
Iron sulfide is an inorganic compound formed from the elements iron and sulfur. It is classified as a binary compound, specifically a metal sulfide.
There are two elements in the compound Fe2O3. These are: iron and oxygen
compound
Because in a chemical compound is a chemical bond between the elements. From a mixture of iron and sulfur iron can be separated with a magnet.
It is a compound because iron and sulfur are two individual elements that you can find on the periodic table.
A mixture is a collection of various elements which have not ionically bonded. A compound is when those elements are heated up and join together. Mixture = Iron and Sulphur Compound = Iron Sulphate
Iron sulphur is not a compound, but a mixture of iron and sulfur elements. Compounds are substances composed of two or more different elements chemically combined in fixed ratios, whereas mixtures are combinations of different substances that are not chemically bonded.
"Atoms" of the compound iron oxide do not exist, but the compound contains iron and oxygen atoms, both in the form of ions.
